{Light reading + a lesson}

The past four days or so Mailee has only wanted me to read one book to her:I've gotta say, in the last few days I've learned a lot about birds.

When I am busy and can't read to her, she gathers her stuffed animals and gets cozy in a blanket and proceeds to look at each page.It's so entertaining to see her point to the birds, naming a few correctly and others she creates a new name altogether for the bird...usually based on a color she sees on the feathers.

When she came upon the page with Pigeons on it she pointed right at them and said "Stupid birds!".

I couldn't help but laugh. I'm pretty sure she was fully convinced that was the name of those birds. Not quite sure where she ...oh wait...remember the {pigeons we used to have}? Apparently Mailee remembers. I always forget how they pick up on everything we say.Although reading about how to band birds and different speicies has been interesting I'm ready to accidentally misplace this book and move on to another one.

I wonder if the next book she chooses will also be a good reminder to watch what I say around them.
